What will we write about…

“Asher, I’m heading out tonight…I’ll be spending a few hours writing with women who are mothers.”

“Will you write about how women don’t have penises?”

No comment. I smiled. His gift of humor couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. All day I paced around the house, revising the workshop agenda, collecting items for a writing prompt basket, and speaking to friends who quelled my anxiety. But is was my son who eased my nerves and made me laugh at myself. And if no one showed up, well I had rented a beautiful space, and I would be able to get my own writing done, guilt free, and away from the distractions. So, I let go and off I went, feeling brave. When the writing studio door opened, women gathered one by one in a writing circle and we began. A total of seven, including me. As soon as our time began together, it wasn’t about me, anymore. These women have gathered, reasons to be unfolded in a secluded and honored space not to be revealed to you, at least not by me.

We are women writing. Lionesses nestled up in the branches of a tree overlooking the Serengeti under the night sky.
